It seems as if every day there is a new device that comes out that allows you to charge your phone such as unlocked iphone 4 while you’re on the go. Now the company Orange Sound has released a new quirky way for you to charge your phone when you’re out and about. The company will be releasing a T-shirt that will generate an electronic charge from the sound around the phone. The idea is that the church will create an electronic charge while users are out of concerts and shows, and then their phone can be plugged into the shirt to maintain its charge while they are out and about. This is an interesting and quirky way for users to charge their phone even while they are out of their favorite concerts. The company has not gone much farther than explaining that harnessing the power of the vibrations around the shirt are involved in creating the charge.

So far they have not released any information about how much of a charge, or how long your phone will stay charge for when you’re using the T-shirt. We would expect that the charge would not be very strong; it might just give your phone a few extra minutes of life while you were out at the concert. However, it will probably make a great fashion statement that you can show off to your friends while you’re out and about. As far as we can tell, the louder the environment that you’re in, the more charge the shirt will receive. At the very least, the shirt will be great for starting conversations with people that you don’t know while you’re out and about.

Every day it seems as if there are new ways to charge your device, but most of them that have been released in recent times appear to be gimmicks. A T-shirt that charges your phone based on the vibrations around you is not really all that feasible, but is an interesting concept that one day may grow into something larger and the interest in the shirt that we have seen so far is any indication.

The all in analytical company, the Nielsen company, has announced that the usage of smart phone data has risen as much as 89% in the United States over the course of the first quarter of 2011. The data consumed is rising at a very fast pace, and it appears that the largest users of data and the smart phone era or android users such as unlocked Xperia Arc, Samsung galaxy II, etc... During the same period of time during 2010, the average smart phone user only used about 230 MB of data on their device. However last quarter, the number went up significantly, about 89%, to as much as 435 MB of data over that same period of time. The heaviest amounts of data that was used among the top 10% of all users of smart phones went from 1.8 GB during that quarter to 4.6 GB during that quarter. Keep in mind, that these are the largest users of data in the smart phone era, and are not representative of all smart phone users.

However, during the same amount of time the average cost to the user or per megabyte for smart phone data, dropped as much as 46% over that same period. This shows that data is becoming progressively less expensive for most users, and shows that even though the amount of data that is being used is going up, it does appear to be getting cheaper. The largest majority of users use very small amounts of data. The largest amount of data was used by users in the 99th and 98th percentile, who used the bulk of the data that was gathered. The cost of data per megabyte was $.14 in the first quarter of 2010. This number dropped all the way down to eight cents per megabyte last quarter.

It is interesting to see that android users are the largest users of data. One would think that I phone users would be the largest users of data based on the number of people that own them. Perhaps the low level of intrigue that makes the unlocked iPhone 4 so popular is one of the reasons why users do not use as much data. Also, the fact that it is a closed interface could lead to more users using less data than Android users, which utilize an open interface.
